[MD] Teaching without Values

[Ian Glendinning]

Khaled, and other MoQ'ers interested in higher education ...

Catching-up on a few overlooked links, this is interesting. Stanley
Fish would find he has an argument with Nick Maxwell. The very point
of Nick's "Wisdom Enquiry" agenda is to ensure that the higher
education gets values on its agenda.

Several Maxwell links in this post.

Look out for Chicago University's "Wisdom Research" agenda too,
spookily called the "Arete" initiative.
